ADOBE JACK TRAILHEAD
Sedona
 |
| Adobe Jack Trail |
Since its completion in 2012, this cluster of new trails
near downtown Sedona has become quite the hot spot for urban treks. But don't
be put off by its proximity to shopping and restaurants---there's quality
hiking here. Seven fresh cut trails--
Crusty, Grand Central, Coyote, Powerline Plunge, Javelina, Ant Hill Loop and
Adobe Jack, add seven miles of exploratory routes that blend with the existing Soldier
Pass-Thunder Mountain systems. Packed with gasp-worthy Red Rock Country
views, these interlaced paths were designed for long-term sustainability and
easy access to Sedona's complex geology and high desert flora. The connectivity of these routes is a
wonder---you can plan long day hikes and backpacking trips by linking with
Brins Mesa trails to get to the Boynton Canyon and upper Oak Creek Canyon
areas. Or, if a casual walk in tennies followed by post-trek noshing and retail
therapy is your idea of an excellent adventure, then, this trailhead is your
ideal launch pad.
